ha ha, this is my favourite line from channel 7…”After the tennis” which can mean September next year. In our house, whenever anything on television is delayed for any reason we just call it ..”After the tennis”.

This is hardly an accolade. The Good Doctor is the number one recorded program which viewers fast-forward through the horrendously long ad breaks and enjoy without interruption. If I was an advertiser, I would be subtracting these figures from my TARPS, not adding to them.

Their own statistics appear to indicate that, if not actually dead, TV is certainly in the ICU and the doctor is casting an eye over the chart wondering if there is really any point in keeping the machine that goes ‘ping’ turned on any more.
